Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can one person hold this 6x6 Scrim?

A: Yes, One person can hold this, but if the setting is windy or they need to hold it for a long time, I would suggest attaching it to a stand.

Q: 2. What is the thickness of the aluminum in the 1 square tubing? Is it 6061 aluminum alloy?

A: Daniel, The available public technical specs for our products can be located in the Technical Specs section of each product on our website as well as B&H's site.

Q: 3. Are all the poles the entire 8' or do they join together? If they join are you able to use less so if I buy the 8x8 could use as a 6x6 or 6x4 if needed or do I need to buy each specific size?

A: We bought the 4x4 so I cannot accurately answer this question.

Q: 4. Hello, can a Matthews butterfly overhead 6x6' can be on it or only the westcott scrim Jim? Thanks a lot.

A: Because I am a bit stubborn, I have also tried because the portability is perfect for this frame. And it works perfectly with a 6x6 Matthews :-)

Q: 5. Does this kit include the rags or just the frame?

A: The Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Frame Set (8 x 8') includes 8 x Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Frame Tube (46") , 4 x Westcott Scrim Jim Cine 2" Straight Frame Connector , 4 x Westcott Scrim Jim Cine 2D Corner Frame Connector. It does not include diffusion fabric, but you can purchase it separately https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1435526-REG/westcott_1789_scrim_jim_cine_seamless.html or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1174969-REG/westcott_1785_scrim_jim_cine_silver_white.html and other.

Q: 6. Has anyone used a Cardellini clamp to mount this rather than purchasing a frame-specific clamp? I'd rather purchase something that will get more use than just out of this.

A: A Cartellini, Mathellini or end jaw clamp could all be used. You will want one per side.

Q: 7. How does this compare to the Digital Juice 8x8 butterfly frame in terms of breaking down and items included in the kit?

A: No experience with the Digital Juice but the Scrim Jim system has been a favorite light control system for over 24 years because it is lightweight and easy to use. The Scrim Jim Cine remains lightweight especially compared to other brands in the industry. The # 1834 weighs less than 9lbs! A kit is only a few pounds more. The Scrim Jim Cine system was designed with users in the field to be modular so youre nearly limitless in the sizes and shapes that can be built. Connectors feature a positive-locking system that keeps frame builds in-tact throughout your shoot. Easily removable for quick tear down and setup. The 8 x 8 frame is constructed from smaller modular components and so you can construct multiple other sizes as well! Westcotts fabric attachment, through the use of Hook-and-Loop attachment, allows for fast and easy setup and tear-down. Westcott quality control maintains tight tolerances to assure quality color and diffusion.

Q: 8. Can standard 8x8 rags be tied onto this frame easily?

A: Yes.

Q: 9. Do the velcro connections run around the entire edge of the frame, or just on the corners?

A: There is velcro all around the edge of the frame.

Q: 10. Can the parts int this kit be used to construct a 6x4 frame?

A: Yes, by taking out 2 of the 22" sections the Westcott Scrim Jim Cine Frame Set (6 x 6') BH #WE1833 can be used as a 6x4' frame.

[3/4-Stop] I LOVE this scrim. It's easy to put together, travels well, is the perfect size for my needs, most of the time. Well built and easy to assemble. 5

[Plain diffusion] Great construction. pricey but not anymore than any of the competition! im excited to use it and really put it through it's paces. the diffusion is great as is the reflector overall super satisfied! 5

[Plain diffusion] The Westcott 4 x4 Scrim Jim really works well for me to use without a support crew. Easy to assemble and breakdown and gets the job done. Excellent quality materials that I expect from Westcott 5

[0.55 lb] Ive used this for two years now and it has become an indispensable tool in my lighting arsenal. I bought it for the diffusion, but over time Ive added every 4 x 4 cloth they make (plus the 4 x 8 floppy cutter) and basically, this never gets put away. It is fast and effective for diffusion, bounce, and flagging; looks professional; has held up spectacularly. I bought a second set. Be sure to pair it with a good clamp so you can mount the frame into a grip head -- this gives you near-infinite nuance in how you tip, tilt, and distance the cloth from the light. I am currently equipping a new studio and buying these again, with gusto. 5

[7.1 oz / 200 g] I learned about this product from Daniel Norton youtube videos. Shooting light through it or bouncing off of the reflective surfaces provides a large beautiful soft uniform source. I purchased the 1-1/4 f-stop scrim separately and use it mounted opposite the included 3/4 f-stop to produce a super-soft effect. The frame is easy to assemble. The hook and loop fasteners around the entire surface ensures tight uniform mounting of the scrim and reflector. I clamp it with a Matthews Matthellini Clamp with 6 End Jaw overhead - into a knuckle for a C-stand. It knocks down easily to fit in the included case. There is room in the case for everything including the clamp I added to mount it. In spite of the size, I find myself using it a lot! 5

[3/4-Stop] Very robust and easy to break down. Looks like they took a cue from the Matthews snap-a-part frame and made it much lighter and more versatile. Also, compare the price of this kit and then the 4x frame itself, this is only $50 more than just the frame and you get 2 rags and a case. Great value! I would suggest forgetting about any of the Westcott clamps and purchase a Matthellini end-jaw clamp to rig this to a grip head on the stand. 5

[7.1 oz / 200 g] Sure thing! Here's a positive review for the photography scrim: I recently purchased a photography scrim and was thrilled with the results! The scrim is incredibly easy to use and made of a lightweight material that doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. It diffuses light beautifully, creating a soft, even glow that makes the light so dreamy and polished. It looks like a master painter’s best work! The delivery was also quick and hassle-free. Overall, I highly recommend this scrim to anyone looking to up their photography game - it's a game-changer! 5

[3/4-Stop] The 8x8 Scrim Jim is an excellent tool to have; easy to set up and take down. We used it right out of the box on our last shoot and it was up and ready in just a couple minutes. Everything breaks down, folds and fits nicely in the sturdy bag it comes with. A great buy! 5

[0.55 lb] I have been contemplating buying this for quite sometime! Wow, where have you been! This kit is light weight, easy to assemble and an essential tool in my bag of tricks. Nice even lighting and breathable which allows for wind to sail right through and not effect your shot. Love this product. 5

[Plain diffusion] I have two of the older style scrim jims, where friction holds the corners together (often rather poorly). I love the new design, with the positive lock corners. We used the 6x6 on our last shoot for both an overhead diffusion, and with the reflector silver/white. Super useful. 5
